...the appeal of the stories where the "author" tells his story of how he was transformed from a regular, average citizen into say... Groucho. And ended up in Equestria?

I am proud to admit that I have never skipped a single episode of FiM during the time I've been watching the show. But "Rainbow Newbie" really tested my patience. Wasn't the plot only cringy, with Rainbow trying to imitate her friends JUST to change the nickname, but it is also a terrible plan to do so, and this lesson is just awful to teach kids. "You don't like a nickname? Well, boo-hoo! Suck it up."

By far, this is, in my opinion, the WORST episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I don't really go in for commenting on people's userpages to thank them for showing an interest in my work, and neither do I expect it of them. It doesn't really get anyone anywhere. It's a little thing, and I'm grateful for it, but all these comments you see... they're really just clutter, aren't they? But, and it's a big but, I'm trial-running, as it were, a new system, which I may adopt full-time. At the moment, whenever someone comments on, favourites, or adds to a bookshelf

You can't compete with that. You just can't.

I'm also trying to post more again have to make up for two months...

I wrote a story, guys!

Go take a look!

It's probably not too good…

I'm not crying, you are!

I will draw an OC portrait, or any character they want so long as it fits the criterion listed on my userpage. I'm at 297, so if you know anyone who'd like their OC done, or just wanna get me a little boost to that magic number, you'd be doing two people a huge favor.

I'm a colossal dumbass.

Ok, so I was out with the lads today, pissing about, having a laugh, all that good stuff. We were trying to find a new seat for our rope-swing, and we found a big branch to snap in half. Spent 10 minutes trying to break the fucker, until I got the bright idea to hit a tree with it and snap it in half, like you do. Stupid me, ignoring all science and reason, swung it at a tree and caused it to rebound straight into my face.

my dad is threatening to check every single thing ive done using our house's wifi ever and if he does I am practically dead

I'm gonna lay low for a bit and probably not go online at all just as a head up

hopefully this all blows over and I end up alright but if not I want you guys to stay safe and know I care about you

and in case of an emergency I might give my log in to an irl friend so she can keep you guys updated

thanks for sticking with me!!!

Alternative title: I'm Super Jealous of Everyone Who got to Meet up with Each Other at Bronycon but You Guys Probably Don't Want to Hear Me Bellyaching a Bunch.

Anyway, no I'm not dead, and things have actually been quite productive, all things considered. I've written about 10,000 words...they just...err...happen to be for multiple stories, so the work really isn't too visible unless you chat with me via Skype, Steam, Facebook, etc and/or have access to the Google docs.

This is my fic from the Writeoff that ended this morning. It won 4th place—barely missing a medal. But it's still an honor, and naturally I'm thrilled so many ponies enjoyed it.

Happily Ever After*

G.W. Bush has recently said he was the last Republican in the White House.

Fox edited out one of many biting criticisms of G.W. Bush's term in office back in 2006.

Happy Christmaween! (Nightmare Warming? Sounds like psychotropic climate change.) I though this was going to be the “ia” of Season 8’s “Welcome Princess Celest,” but it’s a full-fledged hour-long special. Let’s dig into the out-of-seasonal cheer.

So, you know that computer I have set up for archiving 5.25" floppy disks? That's my testbench system that I use whenever I need to set up a quick PC for something.

Holy geezums on a pancake stick there's a lot going on today.

So, ahem, in short... Chapter 100 of Songs of the Spheres is coming up and details about how that is going to work can be found below, a new story-anthology Enchorus has gone live, and Sombra's Clipshow ended and I'm very happy about it.

Okay, I've needed to get this blog post out for a while, for a whole big bunch of reasons.

First of all: thank you everybody for the kind words! I've gotten a lot more comments and messages lately on Maternal, most of it good and prompting me to continue. I'll get to that!
